I likely can shave off some more costs if I opt to NOT paint that rear section... and if you don't really even see it... why bother painting it.

out of curiosity - when you get a center console through "bumper plugs" - does that also include painting the ashtray and the little piece that surrounds the window /seat heater buttons, or is that a separate piece/charge?

thanks!

Yep, when you get it from Bumperplugs, it includes painting of the ashtray and the piece that surrounds the window/seat heater buttons. He charges you extra only if you ask for the ashtray delete tray. The cost is all relative I guess, since if you order your console painted from the factory, it's like $700 bucks, so $380 is not that bad, and they do come to you painted flawlessly. I've had mine in for more than 6 yrs already, I think, and not one scratch on it. I'm sure if you're good with a paint gun, however, you can do a good job too.
